Protesters have stormed the Peoples Democratic Party secretariat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The protesters who stormed the secretariat Thursday were protesting party’s position ahead of the Local Government election scheduled for October 5, 2024.
The protesters, who arrived in large numbers at the party’s secretariat, forced security operatives to step in to control the crowd and manage traffic congestion in the area, Channels Television reports.
The unrest follows growing concerns over the delay in the release of the 2023 Voters’ Register by the Independent National Electoral Commission to the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission.
Despite the court ruling, Governor Siminalayi Fubara maintained that the election would go on as planned.
